Grand Arkansas and Texas
Excursions.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad
and McKenzie Route have arranged a
series of Grand Excursions to all
points in Arkansas and Texas, via the
Western and Atlantic Railroad and the
great McKenzie Route, via Chatta
nooga, McKenzie, Memphis, Little
Rock, etc.
Excursion tickets will be on sale
August 27th, 28th and 29th, good to
return within 30 days, and for the
privilege of stopping off at any point
reached by the excursions in Arkansas
and Texas.
There will be provided, free, palace
day coaches for excursionists, Atlanta
to Little Rock without change.
There will be no omnibus transfer,
excursionists leaving from the same
depot they arrive at, which accommo
dation is afforded by no other route.
Travelers know what fatigue and dis
comfort are experienced by long, rough
omnibus transfers of themselves and
baggage, from one depot to another,
especially across the city of Atlanta,
taking much time and causing delays
and mis-connections. Therefore, to
avoid these and all other annoyances,
see that your tickets read via the W.
& A. & McKenzie Short Line.
These Excursions afford a grand op
portunity to visit and thoroughly in
spect the great States of Arkansas and
Texas, for a small amount of money,
traveling in palace day coaches, in the
best of style.
As we have mentioned, tickets, good
to return in 30 days, will be on sale
August 27th, 28th and 29th, with
stop off privileges at the following low
rates:

Cherokee Springs, near Ringgold,
Ga., on the Western & Atlantic rail
road, are very popular this season.
Write to R. W. Doak, Esq., at Ring
gold, Ga., and he can tell you things
which will be of interest to you if you
wish to find a cool place with pure air
and pleasant water.
The Kennesaw Route is the shortest.
From Kingston or Cartersville itj is
a pleasant trip out to the great Salt
petre Cave, which can justly be called
the Mammoth Cave of Georgia. The
underground passages and halls of
kings” afford an abounding interest to
visitors. mH
Only via the Western and Atlantic
railroad can you get to the healthiest
county in Georgia, b not in America.

Chamberlin, Johnson & Co.
On the first page of this paper we
print a cut of, perhaps, the finest dry
goods house in the South. It is the
palace store of Chamberlin, Johnson
& Co., corner of Whitehall and Hun
ter streets, Atlanta, and is a marvel of
massive architectural beauty; while
inside is an aggregation of goods, par
tially described on the first page, to be
found in no other Southern store. A
walk through Chamberlin, Johnson &
Co.’s great establishment is equal to
a visit to an exposition, and a source
of intense delight to the ladies who ad
mire exquisite fabrics fiom all coun
tries, which can be seen in great profu
sion in this establishment. The ladies
and gentlemen of Atlanta are familiar
with Chamberlin, Johnson & Co.’s
store, and visitors to the city should
not fail to call and inspect the rare
goods there to be found.
As another instance of how the
“grinding monopolists” oppress their
employes, we notice that the New York
Central railroad company has given a
lot on the corner of Madison avenue
and Forty-fifth street, 40x80 feet, on
which Cornelius Vanderbilt will, at his
own expense, build a fine three-story
and basement building and fit It up
complete, with library and reading
rooms; billiard and bowling rooms; a
general meeting room and sleeping
apartments, for the free use and ben
efit of employes of the New York Cen
tral and its affiliated lines.
The use of natural gas in the manu
factories of Pittsburgh has done away
with the consumption of 189,850 bush
els of coal a day. In 250 working
days, which is considered a year by the
manufacturers, the whole amount of
coal displaced would run up to 47,450-,
000 bushels. Calculating 100 bushels
to be an average day’s output for a
coal miner, it would take 1,600 coal
miners to dig this coal; but altogether
the use of the natural gas has thrown
about 5,000 men out of work in that
region. It required the use of 633
railroad cars to transport the black dia
monds.
The big new cast-iron pipe works, at
Chattanooga, will employ 600 men at
the start, soon to be increased to 1,000
men.
